Domestic Violence, where should I talk about this?

[Mike 03]

At first I thought this was too heavy for GD, but I am not sure where to turn. I have a loved one who has a stalker.

Can anyone please advise a good discussion group to raise this issue on?

Thanks in advance.

1. discussion group?

they need to talk to the police

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Indeed - a "discussion group" on this is utter bullshit. Call the cops.

Seriously. For fuck's sake, DO something, don't just fuck around.

3. I agree- get the cops

4. And read up on stalking laws in your area. They do vary from place to place.

I have intervened in many stalking episodes (unfortunately) and they usually back down when a) I threaten the fuck out of their well-being. And b) When they find out how serious the criminal penalties are.

Even for first time offenders.

Also make sure this person documents every call and every visit and every thing else that happens. It matters.

Good luck with this and feel free to pm me if needed.

5. if you need more

people to tell you what to do

try posting in the Feminist or Women's Rights forums - I think we'd have plenty to say on the subject!
